PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION IN KALYANA CHALUKYAS PERIOD |
Author : N. SAI BABU |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract : The kingdom was divided in to several provinces. It has been a special feature of this region of the south that these administrative divisions in almost all cases came to be attached with a numerical figure, especially from the 9th to 13th centuries when Karnataka Andhra were under the hegemony of the Rashtrakutas and the Chalukyas of Kalyana. It continued to be so in the region ruled by the Seunas while the practice appears to have been not very popular during the Hoyasala rule in south Karnataka. Several interpretations have been offered regarding the significance of these figures. It has now been generally accepted that the divisions with smaller figures connected with it were the areas with as many villages (badas) included therein. Dr.Ritti has shown how Kukkanur is described as the head quarters of Kukkanur-30 comprising 30 villages (trimsadgramadhipati) and the Kolanur inscription enumerates all the 30 villages included in Kolanur-30 division.1 Similarly he has shown that Belvola-300 means 300 villages included in Belvola division.2 However, such numbers like 96,000 of Gangavadi and 32,000 of Nolambavadi cannot be properly explained. |
